2026 verdict
Even though the Blink Outdoor 4 Floodlight Camera undercuts it on price and offers more connectivity options, the Aqara CameraHub G5 Pro PoE still wins this camera matchup overall, backed by a stronger rating, PoE wired power, color night vision, RTSP streaming, a wider range of alerts, hub functionality and a privacy zone. That broader connectivity support genuinely matters for buyers who need more flexible network options for their outdoor floodlight setup. Anyone who wants a wired, hub-capable camera with color night vision and deep privacy controls should choose the Aqara CameraHub G5 Pro PoE, while those who prioritize flexible connectivity and a lower price should pick the Blink Outdoor 4 Floodlight Camera.
